My Dearest Daddy,
It has been 132 days since you left to be with the Lord. Kellye and Gene are Going for a test today. Please help them though it. They have both been through so much in the last few months. They are very stressed, please lend them a hand. Mommie got a call from Scottie, and he had went to school in PA. and they were talking about you, and the Certain Sale of A Blaw-Knox paver? HMMMMMM???? Good One, Daddy, no one told us that before. Scottie had told the class of your passing, and they all sent their condolences to MOMMIE. Your famous daddy, not just with US, but alot of people who's lives you have touched. I called Aunt Claire and Uncle Charlie today, and left a message to call me back. I would like them to read what I have been writing in your book. Mommie found a round tooth pick on the floor. It was bitter-sweet. She cried. Then I was cleaning out the tissues in Kellye's car, and found a round tooth pick, OKAY I get it. My printers haven't been the same since I printed the picture for your colages. Okay poppy 3 good printers, and only the cheap one works? What's up with that. I'll have to see if SNAP-ON makes a printer !!!!! Ralphie has called to check on Mommie and us. He finally got a great job. I hope it all works out. Sandy and Ralphie are a great couple. Bruce went to the car show, and I asked him if he saw a picture of a 55 blue chevy to pick it up for me. Or a 1966 or 67 Pontiac GTO. I should have told him about the 1953 Oldsmbile with the 442 but I cant remember where I put your list of Cars. But I know it's in a safe Place. I am going to borrow your Snap-On torque wrench for the Dozer, and I will put it back when they are finished with it. Daddy I really miss you, I cant call and ask questions about torque specs, and this is my problem.... what is wrong with my car and or truck? But I do remember one thing, start at the cheapest part first. Who needs those Ogygen Sensors anyway ?? !!! Ha Ha
With all of My Heart, Always and Forever,

My Dearest Dearest Daddy,
It has been 122 days since you left to be with the Lord. We still cant believe your not here with us. Mommie and Kellye are doing so so. I have your Tree Lit today for Valentine's Day. I hope you can see how pretty it is. Sorry I could not right on Christmas, it was just so painful. You will always be Christmas to all of us. Well I'll give it a try... Okay, first Uncle Charlie asked Kellye if she would like to Grill the "Filet Mignon." Well, Kellye Broke down in tears, we all did. It was a Bitter-Sweet moment, and an Honor for your little 1/2 pint. And we all knew that you were there with us, when the baby bunny arrived. We took pictures, with Kellye and Eric at the Grill, and Lori and Kellye with the Fork at the Grill. Kellye didn't realize the Perks of Being the Grill Master. All ya have to do is open the Sliding Glass door and Say "I need a Drink." And the whole living room would pass the request to the Bar and Smoking Room ! And Fast, Everyone knows that Uncle Charlie's Filet is the "BEST" and the Grill Tender gets everything and anything! Uncle Charlie said Grace, (Of Course) and it was Beautiful as always. And I'm still at the Young table, and Kellye and Gene are at the Adult table. Aunt Claire had us all Lined up From the Head of the Table, Uncle Charlie, Mommie, Gene, Kellye, Me, & Bruce. I didn't realize how much you and Uncle Charlie Look alike. To see him brings tears to my eyes. I can't type anymore today Daddy. (crying)
With all of My Love,
ALWAYS AND FOREVER, YOUR DAUGHTER, SHERRIE XOXOXOXOX</b></font><br><br>

My Dearest Dearest Daddy,
Well I know you were with us this Thanksgiving, how many Rieser's does it take to make home made whipped cream ? Yes 3. Mommie and Me know, you were laughing your butt off, when I brought the Whipped Cream Dispenser out side on the porch, and made sure it didn't explode all over the kitchen. Then we thought is was empty, and Uncle Charlie put another gas charger in it. That was a good one poppy. Yes the turkey was terrible as always. Ha Ha, you and me always hated it !!!! Every one loved my/your stuffing as always. I cried when I finished making it. Bring on the Prime Rib! I know daddy. I think Thanksgiving went well considering the circumstances. Uncle Charlie Said Grace, and We all had Tears. Well your Christmas tree is up. I hope you like it. Mommie is doing as well as to be expected. We all have our good and bad days. We still think your upstairs, in the TV Room, and we know you are there in Spirit, but we really miss you daddy. So much to do in the shop. I hope I remembered everything you told me to do, Poppy. We are doing our best. Please send mommie more signs she needs them, very much. I hope you like my tree daddy, your at the top, and 1/4" drive rachet at the bottom. SNAP-ON !! Daddy I told mommie why snap-on tools are so expensive, "Cause all the Answers are in the Handles." Mommie didn't know that one. Christmas is Coming daddy, ya really have to help me with this one. I keep that picture in my wallet daddy, and this year maybe I can show every one. I hope you like your Cross I made for you, and we had $50.00 in donations for the Church, on the Blankets and Wreaths I have been making. You know what I am looking for daddy, please help me find it. I have turned the House up - side - down, and still can't find it. I love you daddy very very much and miss you very very much, always and forever,
SHERRIE
P.S. Mommie & Kellye need some extra special attention Daddy, please help them, like your helping me. Kellye Remembered your call sign,

MY DEAREST DEAREST DADDY,
It has been 28 days since you left to be with the Lord. We are all trying so hard to remember all the great things you have taught us. We all have good days, and bad days, and we are all helping each other get through them. Just wanted to let you know that you are Deeply Missed, and there isn't a day that goes by, we don't think of You; Your great smile, funny laugh, and one line Jokes!! One of my Favorites is "How Do You Do," - "Well Since Your Hanging Around Here, How Don't You Do." And A Few More - "Lock The Doors, There Coming In Windows" - "Yo Dude" - Then You would say "Would You Like A Drink?" And we would say, "Daddy it's only 11:00 am," and you would say, "It's 12:00 SOMEWHERE." That meant it was OK, and Start Pouring!! You Always had the BEST BAR IN JERSEY. I Still remember the Bar in Grandma's Cellar - 15 Franklin Ave. that You, Your Father & Uncle Charlie Built. We had so much fun playing bar tenders. You would give us all your money, and we would set up bar, and have real customers at the tables. I remember one specific time we must have had your Entire Pay Check scattered all over the Bar and Tables, and at that time, approx. 30 years ago, it was over $1200.00 in cold hard cash. Kellye would bring the small cups of Giner-Ale to the tables, and I would work the register. To think of if now, we charged like three dollars and some change just for Ginger Ale on the rocks ? I also remember you saying that "You can't Drink Water, it Rust's the Pipes." Kellye and I were in our Glory, we made lots of Money in Grandma's Cellar. Well it was your money, we just used it for a few Hours. It kept us busy, so you could visit with Mommie and Grandma. Well Daddy; Mommie, Kellye & I agreed to ask Uncle Charlie to Say Grace at Thanksgiving. It is going to be very hard for all of Us. Mommie thinks it will be harder on her if your Chair is Empty on Thanksgiving, and we are Trying to Figure out what you want us to Do, to make it just a little easier on your Wife, our mother. We thought of Uncle Charlie, Your Brother, if He can Physically do it, we don't know yet. Mommie also said that if he feels uncomfortable, that if I could sit there, I can. That's kind of funny, but I remember you and me always fighting over the Kitchen Chair. I would always sit in it, then I would hear you come down the stairs, and I would jump to the one across from you. Daddy give us a hint, cause out of Respect for You, We wanted it Empty, because no one Can or Could ever Replace YOU !!!! Mommie thinks it will be very hard on her, to have it Empty. I know one thing for sure, "You don't want Mommie ever to Hurt in Anyway, Shape or Form." If you could let us know, we would really appreciate it. You Always Were & Always will be, "The Head of The Table." I Love You Daddy, and Miss You Very Much !!!!
I Love You With All of My Heart, Forever Yours, Your
Daughter, SHERRIE</b></font><br><br>

MY DEAREST DEAREST DADDY,
Since I can remember I followed you around like a little puppy dog, always wondering what you were up to. I would stick my nose in everything you did, because to me YOU are and ALWAYS will be the BEST of The BEST !!!! I will never EVER FORGET YOUR SMILE,& Your Gold teeth looking down at ME! All my childhoood, what ever you said was always right, and even if someone told me "hey that's not right" I would say, "Yes it is, DADDY told me so." And that was the end of if ! You could never do Wrong in my EYES. You have given me such Strength and Pride!
I remember saying "I cant do it Daddy", and You would say, " YES YOU CAN, CAUSE YOUR A RIESER, AND DON'T YOU EVER FORGET IT" !
I will never forget the first Paver & Dump truck ride with You and George at Earl's Air Force Base. Yes, I was the son you never had. We always had so much fun on the NJTP, and Route 206. I remember when you would stop and pick up the cocktails for two and pistacios, and you threw the shells out the window and they hit a car behind us, you were laughing your butt off, and I was afraid that the cops would get us, and you said we wouldn't get caught, and we didn't. And I also remember the time on the CB when you told the TRACTOR TRAILERS, ON THE TRUCK SIDE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OR RACE, I haven't seen my Wife in a Week, and they put the Hammers Down, and at 105 MPH you asked them if they have had enough, and they said yes, GO FOR IT ! And ya wonder why I love TRUCKS? HMMM? Well "Poppy" when we started the Forest Fire on the 4th of July, you couldn't hide the fireworks fast enough!!! That was so funny ! The whole town new it was you/us, and we didn't pay a fine in those days. Daddy, I will NEVER EVER FORGET, THAT I AM "RIESER"
Blood is thicker than Bourbon, you told me. But Daddy, Bourbon tastes good!
I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART, FOREVER, AND EVER,
YOUR DAUGHTER, SHERRIE</b></font><br><br>

My Dearest Daddy,
I just can't believe it's been 8 months, and 1 day since you have left to be with the Lord. It's Father's Day, and I can't believe your still not here with us. I had to look you up today because they had problems with the website for a long time. But it is fixed now. Mommy is doing okay, but we still all have our moments. It's really Hard, because you were the best Dad in the World. Kellye just called and said tell Daddy Hello, She Loves You, and Misses You. Wow, this is Hard Daddy. Mommy is on her way over. I have Your Tree Lit, it is Still as Beautiful
as the first Day I put it up. Well I'm sure by now, you have seen my web site, I can still here you say, I knew you could do it. We are not doing to much today, but we all wanted you to know that we Love You, and Miss you Dearly. I drove past the Race Track Friday, and I remember when you and I went to Bet on the Races. We had a great time, we didn't win much, but had a great dinner. So Many great memories. Well we all have been doing alot of work, I hope you understand some of the Decisions I have to make. It's not easy being "Daddy's Little Girl." Well Poppy, I'm going to Visit Mommy in a Little while, she misses you Deeply, we all do. Love You Always, and Forever, Sherrie

My Dearest Daddy, In 12 days it will be 9 months since you left to be with the Lord.
Well it is the 4th of July. Very hard day for all of us. All the memories of all the parties we use to have, they were extra special because of YOU !!! The 4th was one of your favorite Holidays, because of all the Fireworks. I remember all the goodies you used to buy for us. Like the four color sparklers, and little black snakes. Your Displays were the best. You and your Zippo lighter, and your laughing running up to the lawn. Grandma's Display was the Biggest one, and Boy did she love the Roman Candles. We are going to see a fireworks Display in Atlantic City. Don't worry, I will take lots of Pictures of Kellye and Mommie. I had your Tree lit last night, and Today for a Couple of Hours. Please help us with the Weather. We might have a Thunderstorm Later, and we are under a Tornado Watch. Well the Best Part of 4th of July was you and BOOMER ! How funny is That. Daddy you are and always will be the 4th of July, and the 7th, 13th, & 14th. We would Always Celebrate Our Birthdays for 2 days. We al will be thinking of you tonight, It will be Bitter-Sweet. Wow, I Miss You So Much Daddy !!! I love You Always and Forever, Sherrie

My Dearest Daddy,
It has been 368 days, since you left to be with the Lord. We all miss you so very Much. Kellye went out on the water, exactly the time, you passed last year, to the date, and time. She is having a really tough time daddy, please give her the strength to manage through it. Mommie Stayed home and reflected on how much you have done for Her and all of Us Through the Years !!! Remembering what you have Taught Us, and Accomplished thru the years. We all cant believe it has been one year, and 3 days. It seems like just yesterday to me. I went to the tattoo shop, and had a beautiful saying that Kellye wrote, your baby girl, put on my back, and a Blue Marlin for Her. I hope you understand the reason for my tattoo, cause I know that you didn't care for them to much. We Really, Really Miss You Daddy, and all that You Were, and Still Stand for ! Your are a Wonderful Husband, and one Heck of a Father. With all of our Love, for ever and ever, Your Daughters, Kellye, Sherrie, and Your Loving Wife, Sallie. Forever, XOXOXO

Dearest Daddy,
It has been 2 1/2 years, since you left to be with the Lord. It seems like just yesterday to me. I have been working on my websites day and night, and I hope that one of them will pay off. I miss you more than words can say. Thanks for helping uncle charlie, he was in bad shape. We all have said so many prayers for him. Mommie is doing ok, but she's having a hard time with the stairs. I know that she misses you dearly, and that you can never be replaced. Please help Kellye & Gene through this blueberry season, and watch over their crops. I have quit smoking, 32 days now. I have your picture on the table beside me, and a nip of Stoli! Bruce is doing okay, but we are losing the house in sweetwater. I ask if you could help him find any decent job, so that maybe he can save it. I love you always, your daughter, Sherrie

Daddy, it has been 3 years since you left to be with the Lord. We still know that you are with us in Spirit but, we miss your presence tremendously! Mommie still has her good days and bad days, and she misses you so much. I remember when you would say that Mommie was your Wife, Best Friend & Buddy! We all know how much you cherish Mommie, and you always will! I know that you still need to send us signs you are around, because I am starting to miss them! I know that you have a new pet up there! Please take extra special care of Max. She was the last of the Shepherds to leave us. Kellye was really strong, but misses her whimper in the office. Kellye is having a really tough time; this past year has been a mess. Please help her & guide her and most of all keep her strong! Can you please help her pick up the pace, she is tired, sick and tired. I waited up last night in the living room. I woke up about 2:15 am, looked at your pictures again, closed the lights, and went up stairs. Tears……. I miss you so much, I miss all the things you had left to teach me, I miss you yelling at me (for cursing), I miss you saying (Yo Dude to Bruce!), I miss you saying, “Lock the doors there coming in the windows!� I miss you saying, “I’ll drink to that!� I miss you saying “I have never met a cow that I didn’t like!� I miss you saying, “My favorite Seafood is Moo-Fish!� I miss you saying, “I hate Turkey!� I miss you saying, “How do you do?� when you answered the phone, or the door. And then you would say since you’re sticking around here, “How don’t you do?� I miss everything about your Daddy, but most of all I miss hearing you say, “I Love You!� & “Everything will be OK!� I know that you might know what are plans are, but I can only see one day at a time? I used to dream about the future. Not too much anymore. Thanks for sending me an old friend, to make me laugh, so hard. I really needed that, I’m glad he’s back. I love you Daddy with all of my Heart & Soul, You are, and will always be my Rock! With all my Love, Always & Forever, your daughter – Sherrie.

My Dearest Daddy, It has been 3 years and 41 days, since you left to be with the Lord. It is Thanksgiving morning, and of course your stuffing kicks butt! Thank you for all the help. I made 3 bags this year; for us, Lori, Chrissy & Josh. It came out exceptionally great. Having a glass of wine right now! A toast to my Daddy! We all Love You & Miss You Dearly! Words cannot even begin to Say..... I had a dream that I burned the Turkey to a black carcass. I was laughing when I woke up, and told Mommie right away. I know that you are with us in Spirit, but it’s just not the same without your presence. Mommie is doing Good, but misses you tremendously! Sometimes we still think you are up in the TV room. I think it helps us cope. Kellye lost Max a few months ago, the last of the Shepherds. I know that you are taking good care of all of them! Is Put-Put, doing ok? Bruce & I miss him too. There is only going to be 10 of US this year. Kellye, Mommie, Me, Bruce, Aunt Claire, Uncle Charlie, Aunt Joni, Lori, Eric, and Jeff. And maybe a few squirrels, thinking we are all NUTS! Yeah, I stole that one from you. Oh, I forgot, Chopper, Fluffy & Smokey. I hope we get to see Kassandra for Christmas. Hey can you ask if the Giants can win, for Eric? That would be great for him! I think I’m going to put out the “Royal Salute,� for Uncle Charlie. I think it’s about time we let that bottle breathe! Please help Kellye and Gene, with selling the farm, and help Mommie and I sell the house. I know, I know, but you always want Mommie to be Happy. Here comes the Sun! Thanks we needed that. Thank you for taking care of Uncle Charlie, I see so much of you in him. For all that you are, and all that you still do, we Love You, with all of our hearts! One last thing, how did you know to keep all the Morgans?
Love Always and Forever,

My Dearest Daddy,
It’s Christmas Eve, and we all just came home from Church. I’m glad we started a new Tradition in your Honor. Daddy, on Christmas Eve, you are missed so very much…. For all the laughing, cooking, drinking, eating, and more laughing, we miss you tremendously. Words cannot express the hurt and sadness in my Heart right now. As we start new little traditions, we will never forget the ones we made as a Family. Mommie has her list of Christmas Eve Appetizers, and on it is Chicken Mc Richie – of Course! Some things will never change! Bruce comes to Church with us, as our new Christmas Tradition. He has not missed a year since you left to be with the Lord. I have the last ornament for the tree, and I’m going to let Kellye put it on Tonight! Yes, your ¼ inch drive Snap-On Ratchet. I’m sure that will make her very Happy. We have all had a really bumpy year, and I pray that you let Mommie sell the house, and Kellye sell the Farm, so we can get Mommie to Florida, with Aunt Chrissy and Aunt Marty. This is what Mommie really wants, and needs Daddy. For all that you are, and all that you still do- We Love You, Forever, and with Every Breath. Merry Christmas Daddy – Love Always, Your Daughter, Sherrie

My DEAREST DADDY,
It has been 4 years, 8 months, and 2 days since you left to be with the Lord. Where do
I even begin? The last year has been really difficult without you. From the packing of the
house, shop, and garage; and having all of your stuff put into storage, and to moving it into a new home, in a new state was like shell shock. I really don’t know how, I have come this far. I’m sure it’s because Mommie depends on me. Each time I come home, it hurts more and more, and has almost become unbearable. I know our home will always be on Elwood Rd. We have all shared some priceless memories there, but for you and I, it
was much more. See you weren’t just a Great father; you were my best friend, my teacher, my strength. Basically, you were, and still are my whole world. No one could ever fill your boots. Which I still have, and cannot part with! I know they say time heals all wounds, but, wow, really?? I stopped by our Church Thursday, and took some pictures for us. I will be taking more pictures this trip, as I may not be coming back, many more times. Gary, Gayle & Emily were so happy to see me, as I was of them. They miss you very much too!! I stopped by and talked with Don & Lynne, he’s still hanging in there. One day at a time! Lynne says, that’s all she can do right now. I cannot believe his son is
wasting precious, precious time! Only one, who has been through such a devastating loss, knows the true depth of precious time. For the unconditional love, a Father has for his Children….I Love You, and I Miss You more & more each passing day. Seeing Uncle Charlie & Aunt Claire was amazing! I cherished every moment, because for me, it was
like having a piece of you, all to myself. Even though, it was only a couple of days, it was surreal. I have a tough week ahead of me, and then back to Mommie I go. Everyone says, I’m just like you, that I have that Look, Wink, Stare, or Smile! I wish I could see what they see… I Love You, Always & Forever! Sherrie
